An Interesting Way to Save on Printing Costs

It's interesting to note that you can save quite a bit on ink or toner cost if you chose the right font. So give some though to the fonts you use and set your default font to something printer friendly.

When Printer.com tested popular fonts for their ink-friendly ways, Century Gothic and Times New Roman topped the list. Calibri, Verdana, Arial and Sans Serif were next, followed by Trebuchet, Tahoma and Franklin Gothic Medium. Century Gothic uses about 30 percent less ink than Arial.
